BruceGreySimcoe’s beach towns are hopping during the warm weather season! And, we like to think we have bragging rights on two of Ontario’s best beach towns being right here. The rest of our beaches are no slackers, either!
Wasaga Beach
The bustling Town of Wasaga Beach is home to 14 kilometres of beautiful white sandy shoreline at the southern end of Georgian Bay. And, as trivia buffs know, it’s the world’s longest freshwater beach. This high-energy resort town is a fun and sun seeker’s mecca, with activities and events for all ages. Divided into sections, each has its own parking, washrooms and concessions. Beach Area 1 is just steps from the town itself, with retail shops, restaurants, cafes, entertainment, hotels, attractions and many special events. Beaches 2 to 6 offer a quieter retreat as they are adjacent to residences and the Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.
Sauble Beach
Trivia buffs probably already know this, too – the second-longest freshwater beach in the world, Sauble Beach, is here in BruceGreySimcoe. With 11 kilometres of pristine, golden sand and shallow waters on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, this shoreline is home to some pretty spectacular sunsets. Dusk is the perfect time for an evening stroll or dip to catch the vibrant rays. The community’s iconic arch marks the water’s edge of the funky strip, filled with great shopping, dining and activities. One of the most popular summer events is Sandfest in early August, with sand-castle masterpieces dotting the shoreline as a highlight.
